ICYMI: check out the latest video from The Jerry Cans / Pai Gaalaqautikkut for their single, “Swell (My Brother),” featuring some stunning footage of their home in Nunavut.
Commenting on the inspiration for the video, drummer Stephen Rigby says: “I wanted to show the everyday beauty of Nunavut and why people choose to live here. I basically filmed the places where I spend all of my spare time at home and wanted to show how peaceful it is. Also, as I filmed more and figured that I would be filming everyone individually, I felt it gave the video a sense of being and feeling alone. The thing about it is that when we all feel alone at the same time you can realize that you actually aren’t, because we’re all alone together."
The theme of isolation captured in the video, with each band member performing alone, is one of coincidence with the current global pandemic and most people staying home. The song and its accompanying video deal with the idea of loneliness head-on to tackle the broader issue of suicide, as it’s a matter that is deeply personal for the band.
Andrew Morrison, lead singer and guitar player explains: “Swell (My Brother)” is a song that breaks our hearts to sing, and that broke our heart to write. Over the course of creating “Echoes,” our new album, two of our childhood friends died by suicide. Before the current pandemic, Nunavut has been struggling with a pandemic of its own.
Losing family and friends to suicide this way is not new for the band - or anyone who has spent any time in Nunavut. But this song came out of the anger, sorrow, and frustration of this experience. Even as we grow up, we never seem to outgrow these feelings.
At this point, we could offer statistics that would bring tears to your eyes. We will not do that. To us, these statistics are so much more than that. They are our friends, our family members, and our community members. “Swell (My Brother)” is a song to honour all.

ICYMI, veteran Toronto singer-songwriter John Borra (Rattlesnake Choir) released his latest video last Friday for the song, “Hambre And Dolores,” a track taken from his acclaimed “Blue Wine” album. The video is quite unique, comprised of scenes from a 1923 film version of Oscar Wilde’s play “Salome.”
"Hunger and pain are both represented in the video and the song. There's also a longing for the object of the characters' affection in both the song and video,” shares John. “The running dance subplot intersects with the 'question begging dancer' line in the choruses and provides a nice backdrop for the other things going on. I also think having someone dancing in a music video isn't something that necessarily has to be 'explained'. But I do think it works with the lyrics."
